Spiers and Surenne's French and English pronouncing… von Alexander Spiers
Spiers is extremely rich both in locutions and in proposed alternative translations. Take, for a random example, the verb déranger. Spiers proposes fifteen English verbs or phrases, eleven possible translations of the past participle dérangé, and fifteen possible translations for the pronominal verb, se déranger.
